Blockbuster Incident
« on: March 09, 2001, 05:13:18 PM »
ok i just came back from block buster pretty pissed...

here\'s my story....

got back from school related stuff around 6:00(central standard time).  got my dad to drive me to blockbuster.... just to see if they had the bouncer for rent... got there, ran to the ps2 section, didnt see it.  ok, i thought, thats understandable.
but thats not all...
i went out, and while waiting for my dad to pick me up, i saw it in the window of the store stacked behind the registers. yes, i thought.:D Now there may be a chance!!!
i went in and asked the guy if i could rent it, he said sure, handed me the case, said that they would put the cd in when i checked out.
waited in line for 5 minutes.(long line)
got to the register. asked him if i could rent it, he said ok, but it\'ll take 15 minutes... i said ok.. if i got to play it (the bouncer) today that would be great :D
do, he had to make the cd case, label the cd, print out the computer scanner thing, and then he tried to ring it up.    
he tried to ring it up again.
and im thinking to myself, oh great... now another 5 minutes??
so the guy asked if one of the workers had given you the case, i said yes, (he did.) so the guy said, " this game isnt supposed to be out for renting yet. im really sry but i cant rent it to you." and then " come back tommorow and well have it."

and i say ok thats fine..... but really im thinking, god@mn! that was a waste of a good hour!!!!! why cant he just register it onto the computer!!!

and so i came home, my dad was mad because the piszza he picked up while i was in the store, was getting cold; and i was mad because i was SSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CCCLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOSSSSEE!!to beign able to rent it, but it seems as if ill just have to go back tommorow...
oh well :D
IM BACK. you have a problem with that? get in the back.

unfortunately, that employee is a moron

we put all 4 copies out this morning at my store, and all 4 were rented within 2 hours.

that is BS.  if it wouldnt scan, it was not in inventory.  it either wasnt received, OR recieved incorrectly

Look up "ironic" in the dictionary. :D
July 2002: If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. Enron, $16.50 left. Worldcom, $5.00 left. If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser beer one year ago, drank it all and turned in the cans for the 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00. Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.
